Softcover. 20 p.; front. (port.); 26 cm. (from Proceedings of the British Academy, vol. 31) Quoting from a junior colleague's reminiscences: "There was one famous occasion when he entered his ordinary class with the tassel of his square (which he was wearing) burning merrily, having caught fire from his pipe. He was quite unconscious of it, and the story goes that there was a general rush to `put the Professor out'. There are various stories of his impatience in church. The only one I remember is that he was rebuked from the pulpit with the words: `Will Professor Taylor please stop rustling his raincoat?'" (p. 5 f.) -- `The two thinkers to whom Taylor owed most in his theological thinking were St. Thomas Aquinas, on whose importance as a philosopher he delivered in 1924 a lecture that is reprinted in Philosophical Studies, and Immanuel Kant. To the former he owed the cosmological argument which he restated, with alterations of his own, in `The Vindication of Religion'. To the latter he owed his sense of the fundamental importance of the Categorical Imperative, and the argument for theism which, again with differences, was restated in The Faith of a Moralist (1930), and occupies great part of the first of its two volumes. The strength of his argument will be very differently estimated by those who start with a disposition to agree and by those who start with a disposition to disagree. This at least may be sain, that the argument for theism has rarely been stated more persuasively, or with a wider range of philosophical and theological learning.' (p. 16) Fair, sewn, in creased orig. gray wrapper. Stain on front margin.
